Arvind Kejriwal receives email threat
New Delhi, Jan 13: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s office on Wednesday received an anonymous e-mail that threatened that the CM’s daughter will be ‘kidnapped and harmed’, following which the Delhi Police reportedly provided a security cover to her. A constable has been temporarily deployed for the security of Kejriwal’s daughter and will shadow her whenever she goes out, a senior police official, on condition of anonymity, said.
A Delhi Police spokesperson, who asked not to be named, confirmed that threat emails had been received and said that the matter is being probed by the cyber cell unit of Delhi Police’s special cell. No case had been registered in connection to the case till Saturday evening. Kejriwal’s daughter works in a multinational company in Gurugram.
A senior police officer said that the chief minister’s office received two-three emails on January 9 (Wednesday). The anonymous sender of the emails threatened to kidnap Kejriwal’s daughter. “In the email, the unknown sender has claimed that they will harm the chief minister’s daughter and have challenged him to do whatever he can do to protect her,” the officer said.
Media advisor to the chief minister, Nagendra Sharma, said the Delhi government forwarded the threat emails to Delhi Police commissioner Amulya Patnaik, three days ago. “The Delhi government has not been given any information (regarding the development in the matter) so far by the police,” he added.
Another police officer, privy to the matter, said that the police commissioner held a meeting with the top brass of the department and sought immediate action on the e-mails and asked them to review the threat perception of Kejriwal’s family members, his daughter in particular.
“Since the CM’s official residence is in Civil Lines, the local police was asked to immediately approach Kejriwal’s office and provide security to his daughter. Despite the threat e-mails, Kejriwal or his family members did not ask for any security cover themselves. The constable assigned for Kejriwal’s daughter’s security accompanied her to her office in Gurugram on Friday. He went to the CM’s house on Saturday as well,” the officer said.
The police commissioner’s office forwarded the emails to the cyber cell and asked the officials to ascertain the identity of the person who sent the emails and take necessary legal action. Cyber cell experts are trying to identify the Internet Protocol address of the system through which the threat emails were sent, police said.

Man in Belagavi arrested for murdering 15-day-old daughter by feeding poison
Belagavi: In a murder case reported from Ukkada village of the taluk, a 28-year-old man was held by Kakathi Police on charges of poisoning his 15-day-old daughter, apparently on learning that the infant was female.
The arrested man, Bhimaraya Banappa Chippadi, is said to be a resident of Bhootaramanahatti. He was held by Kakathi Police following an investigation into a case registered against him based on a complaint filed by his wife, Sheela Chippadi, who has accused him of murdering their infant, Priyanka.
Police sources have said that Chippadi was unhappy that his wife Sheela had delivered a female child and had been pressurizing her to leave the infant at her paternal home and return alone.
On Tuesday, March 17 afternoon, Chippadi allegedly poisoned his daughter Priyanka when his wife and child were asleep. A primary investigation has revealed that the accused applied the poison to the opening of a bottle and fed it to the infant.
Chippadi reportedly escaped from the spot after poisoning his daughter.
When his wife Sheela woke up, she noticed the infant foaming at the mouth and immediately took the child to the Belagavi Institute of Medical Sciences (BIMS) Hospital, but doctors declared Priyanka dead, sources said. The doctors have reportedly suspected that the infant was fed a pesticide used on cotton crops.
Kakathi Police, who registered a case against Chippadi, probed the matter and tracked him down on Friday, March 20.
Chippadi, who was produced before the court, has been sent to judicial custody and is currently lodged in Hindalga jail.
